Integration

improves patient care, further streamlines office administration
ATLANTA and HUDSON, OHIO – Carestream
Dental LLC, a subsidiary of Carestream Health, Inc., and the exclusive
manufacturer of KODAK Dental Systems, announces today it has entered
into a comprehensive data-sharing agreement with Lexicomp, a global
provider of drug information and drug data solutions for healthcare
professionals.
Through
this venture, Lexicomp’s vast, subscription-based database of
comprehensive drug information and clinical reference content will be
made accessible through Carestream Dental’s SoftDent, PracticeWorks,
Windent and WinOMS CS software.*
“As
with many of our products and services, our goal for this partnership
is to maximize oral health professionals’ ability to further streamline
office management and spend quality time on patient care,” said Patrik
Eriksson, president and CEO, Carestream Dental LLC.
“By
giving practice professionals the ability to access Lexicomp data and
pull it directly into patient records with their existing practice
management software, we can improve decision support to ensure patient
safety and eliminate several steps in an otherwise lengthy data entry
process,” Eriksson said. “This reduces the chance of errors and saves
practices valuable time as they check on drug interactions.”
Lexicomp
maintains an in-house clinical team comprised of advanced-degreed
pharmacists with significant clinical and academic experience. This team
performs daily surveillance of announcements by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration plus pharmaceutical manufacturers. This critical
information is compiled and made available to heath care systems
regarding drug availability; new dosage forms; and revisions to
contraindications, warnings or other changes.
*The release date will vary for each software platform.
